Acrew Capital

Defining the future of venture.

@LaurenKolodny @savisecurity Powerful data from Savi.

[Lauren Kolodny @LaurenKolodny]

Your personal AI agent and a scam store want exactly the same thing: to complete the transaction.

@savisecurity's Scamwise just published a look at 250K+ shopping sites. A brand new fake store shows up every 3 minutes, and 4 in 5 run an impossible discount. “Find me the best price” is the one prompt an agent cannot say no to.

Great conversation on this with @pcoughlin1 at @money2020.

[FSH Technologies @FSHTechnologies]

We raised $25M to make local government software that works.

Big thanks to our Series A leads, @lachygroom & @AcrewCapital, to @operatorpartner & @CooleyLLP for joining. Thank you to @contrary, @generalcatalyst, @ScribbleVC, & @BasisSet for the support.

"In the Series A, the Sequoia rejection included a line about how inspiring it was that I had two little kids at home while I was pitching them."

-- @Get_Writer CEO May Habib (@may_habib) with some real talk on being a working mom in Silicon Valley 👀

"Everybody wants to hear you say that there is nothing more important to you than being a billionaire," she says. "And the reality is, my kids are more important than that."

Now, when investors ask Habib about her family, her instinct is to stress that her in-laws take care of the kids, while she works 90 hours a week.

"It's sad that's the instinct. At the same time, I know that if I weren't working that hard, if our whole team weren't working that hard, it would have been much harder to get to where we are today."

Today @usemonk is announcing our $25M Series A co-led by @footworkvc and @AcrewCapital with continued support from @btv_vc.

$3T sits in U.S. accounts receivable. Our mission is to close the gap between earning revenue and receiving it.

For most B2B companies, that gap is 45-90 days, thousands of hours of manual work per year, and millions in trapped working capital. It's a tax every growing business pays.

Monk invented the Intelligent Collections category.

Most AR tools automate the easy parts. We built for the edge cases, portal uploads, PO mismatches, and disputes.

On average, customers see 40% lower DSO, 24% higher collections response rate and 25+ hours/month saved.

Thank you to @ElevenLabs, @profound, @siro_app, and our customers for the trust.

Our platform typically pays for itself in month one.

@GuildAI Excited to continue building together. 🙌

[Guild.ai @GuildAI]

https://t.co/TGHt1S2ho9 has raised a Series A to build the neutral control plane for AI agents. Universal by design. Guild is neutral toward models, vendors, and frameworks.

Guild turns agents into shared production infrastructure, with a managed software center for trusted agent capabilities, and an agent hub for discovering and sharing agents.

[Aliisa @aliisarosenthal]

Big news for me: I’m joining @AcrewCapital as a GP.

At @OpenAI, I helped deploy a world-changing technology and had a front-row seat as companies tried to figure out what to actually do with it.

I'm excited to share with AI founders everything I learned along the way.

[Acrew Capital @AcrewCapital]

@aliisarosenthal @OpenAI Welcome to the crew, @aliisarosenthal!

Exclusive: Keycard, a new startup looking to secure AI agents for developers, has launched out of stealth with $38M from a16z, boldstart and others.

Repeat entrepreneur and CEO Ian Livingstone (@ianlivingstone) says he's addressing the "missing pillar" in building with agents.

[Acrew Capital @AcrewCapital]

@KeycardLabs @a16z @Boldstartvc Welcome to the Crew. 👋

[Keycard @KeycardAI]

We’re thrilled to announce that Keycard has raised a combined financing round of $38M, led by @a16z, @AcrewCapital, and @Boldstartvc, to enable everyone to build, control, and adopt trusted AI agents in production.

We’re defining the next-generation of identity and access, for the agentic era.

🧵 Full announcement below.

[Kunaal Patel @kunaal_patel_]

AI won’t just change what we discover in pharma, it’ll change how we make it.

Biomanufacturing remains one of the most under-optimized layers of the pharma value chain:

⚙️ Tech transfer takes 12+ months
💸 Batch failures cost millions
🏭 $120B+ spent annually on biologics manufacturing
With rising margin pressure, geopolitical decoupling, and a pipeline dominated by complex biologics, we believe AI-native platforms that can:
→ predict batch failures,
→ simulate scale-up, and
→ optimize runs in real time

...will define the next generation of infrastructure companies in pharma.
All of these changes will help define the next generation of manufacturing in pharma

We break this down in our latest post: Biomanufacturing In An AI-Native World. Linked in thread!

Finally, I get to share this with the world!

Cash flow keeps business owners up at night. That’s why I couldn’t be more excited about this launch.

We also unveiled:
